Mokelumne Wilderness Maps

Mokelumne Maps

Mokelumne sits in between Carson Pass (Hwy 88) and the Ebbetts Pass (Hwy 4) – a vast Sierra mountainous area, south of Lake Tahoe. With high elevation passes that are usually closed more than half the year due to deep snow, this area becomes summer vacation haven for outdoor seekers. Mokelumne Wilderness Maps can show you the details for picnics, day hikes, trailheads, backpacking routes, horse packing trail camps, alpine lakes, reservoirs and the Mokelumne River.

Mokelumne Wilderness is located in the Central Sierra Nevada mountains, above the Gold Country foothills, in between Hwy 88, 89 and 4; due south of Lake Tahoe. Fish, mountain bike, kayak, camp, backpack, horseback. It is all out here in gorgeous-ville. Lakes and peaks, rivers and creeks. All of this beauty and adventure waiting for you, but only accessible half the year (or less) – due to snow. Certain areas are designated Hiking Map for winter recreation, cross country skiing and snowmobiling.

Mokelumne is bordered by 3 National Forests, in the middle of the Sierra Nevada mountain range: Stanislaus NF, El Dorado NF & Toiyabe NF.

2021 UPDATE: Much of this coastal mountain National Forest was ravaged by wildfire both in 2018 and in 2020, so expect to have limited access for a while.

Ranch Fire (2018), part of the larger Mendocino Complex fire, took out all the southern end of the forest, including the Snow Mountain Wilderness.

459,123 acres burned in 2018

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Complex_fire

Lightning strike wildfires began in mid-August 2020, wiping out the other half of the forest. With the limited fire fighters during the pandemic, the wildland fires ranged for months, filling the whole of Northern California with thick and toxic smoke. The massive August Complex fire is now the largest in state record – with over a million acres burned.

1,032,648 acres burned in 2020

Needless to say, there will closures on many roads throughout this Mendocino NF region, due to fire cleanup, repairs and salvage logging. This includes some campgrounds, lakes, and meadows (or glades as they call them). Contact the local ranger station to find out what is open and when. Gated roads may be found throughout this forest.
